Early the next morning, sunlight bathed the entire Yuqing Mountain. The Zhou Family's mountain gate was wide open, disciples gathered, preparing to welcome the honored guest.
Zhou Chao waited at the Guest Reception Pavilion at the foot of the mountain, his eyes bloodshot, but he still forced himself to stay alert. Behind him stood five Late-Stage Qi Cultivation practitioners, the backbone of the Zhou Family.
To be precise, they were truly under his control, the backbone of the Patriarch's lineage.
The Zhou Family currently has over a hundred cultivators with the surname Zhou, and more than forty non-Zhou cultivators who have pledged allegiance. They are divided into five lineages: one direct lineage of the Patriarch, and the other four lineages headed by four Elders.
